On this week’s episode, I’m chatting to Seb Dixon from Gone Fishing Vintage. Gone Fishing sells tons of nice stuff, specialising in vintage Italian designer clothes. If you’ve ever walked down Oldham Street in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, you’ve probably seen it. Seb’s a top fella with a proper passion and care for what he does and I’m buzzing for you lot to hear more about Gone Fishing and where Seb’s deep interest in Garms came from.

We talk about:

  • Flying to Naples to meet a supplier from eBay

  • The early days: charity shops, Depop, and car boot graft

  • Why he fell in love with vintage Stone Island

  • The rise of Gone Fishing and how the shop came to be

  • What makes a good piece (and why some trends miss)

  • Building a community-first business

  • And loads of gems on styling, confidence, and personal growth
